Former Bears coach John Fox weighing offers for 2018

The John Fox era didn’t end well in Chicago. It was an absolute failure on every level and led to a coaching change shortly after the regular season concluded.

Fox, despite his struggles with the Bears, is a respected NFL coach who will get another shot on someone’s staff in 2018. According to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, he’s weighing his various options as the league steamrolls into Super Bowl Sunday.

“He’s gotten some offers to be senior defensive assistant, things like that,” Glazer said. “I don’t know if he’s going to jump into the media side of it. He’s kind of mulling some offers whether or not he wants to coach.”

Fox limped to a 14-34 record with the Bears, bringing his career coaching record to 133-123 over 16 years with three teams (Panthers, Broncos and Bears).

There’s no love lost for Fox in Chicago. Chants for his termination started around midseason and lasted until the final whistle in Week 17. It’s hard to find one positive memory from his time on the sidelines.
